At the deadline, Falcons get Rashad Fenton (CB, South Carolina) from Kansas City. Falcons give up a conditional seventh round draft pick.

Breaking News: Dan Snyder Making Plans To Sell The Washington Commanders

Sloppy play late contributes to Atlanta's 20-17 loss to the Chargers. Falcons are dead last in the league in pass defense and it showed.

Thanks for playing, Frank Reich (Colts HC). We have consolation gifts for you.

And now "batting clean up"...Jeff Saturday!  (Former Colts Player, not former coaching assistant).  No need for ESPN to fill their vacancy; the person that created that vacancy will handle that himself during the offseason

To be more specific, an elbow injury.  News coming from ESPN's Chris Mortensen

The word is on Buffalo QB Josh Allen that he injured his ulnar collateral ligament and related nerves Sunday at the Jets. He's currently undergoing more tests, and they're hoping it's not similar to one he sustained during his rookie season in 2018.

Flex alert!


The Kansas City / Los Angeles AFC West game has been flexed into Sunday Night Football one week from Sunday.  That's around 8:20 on November 20 on NBC.  To make room for that move, the Cincinnati / Pittsburgh AFC North game moves out of the SNL slot.  Basically the games swapped networks and timeslots, which might affect those in the Cleveland & Baltimore areas who were looking forward to Dallas / Minnesota for their late Sunday fix.

Just a programming alert (for 12 days from now which the deadline to move a game other than the six-day window in the final week).  First SNF flex of the season which was made possible for several reasons including 2 decent matchups original scheduled in the CBS late window

Update on Josh Allen (related to his injury mentioned above)

Basically a situation where practice will be the guide.  How he reacts this week and maybe beyond will determine his availability.  Miss a game or two is the worst case scenario barring any setbacks.  Then he'll have to avoid getting hurt again.

Major blow avoided (right now).  That's obviously great for the Bills, but really very good news for the NFL

Falcons' usual porous pass defense actually held P.J. Walker to 109 yards, but Carolina still prevails, 25-15. Marcus Mariota  was sacked five times (thanks very little, O-line) and the rush defennse could not stop D'onta Foreman (31-130).

It was a road game for Atlanta on a short week.  However, I don't know if it would've been much different if it was on Sunday on normal rest.

Two more international games remain.  One on Sunday & the other a week from Monday.  Looking forward to both.  First time in Germany and then later on in Mexico City.  All 4 participants are rather decent this year so the games should be rather decent.

One week from Thursday will be the first Thanksgiving without John Madden as it relates to NFL football.  He hadn't called a MNF since 2001 (when NBC started to air the 3rd game a decade ago from this year, he had retired 3-4 years prior to the move); though he's been a big part of the festivities being featured somewhat on the late broadcast.  Even CBS & FOX gave him a shoutout (having called game for both).

To pay tribute, the NFL will honor him, this year & going forward

This Minnesota-Buffalo game is on the crazy train. So much happening in the last minute and now it's going into overtime.

[SeaBreeze341]

That was a painful loss for Buffalo (33-30 in overtime).  They had a big lead, blew it, and then after it felt like it was over for one team or another, it really was over for Buffalo.  In position to tie, and maybe win, and then a turnover to Peterson.  Allen isn't 100% but he hasn't been on an MVP level as of late.

Meanwhile, the Packers/Cowboys game was decent.  Dallas got it up to a 2-possession lead, but Green Bay overcame the deficit, won the game (also an OT game) and ended their losing streak 31-28

[Ccook]

Of note, Matt Ryan, whom the Colts supposedly benched for the season, actually played yesterday in a game the Colts won. Threw for 222 and a TD, sacked once and no picks. Looks like Jeff Saturday gave him a leap of faith (or that it was Las Vegas they played).

[ooboh]

The Eagles are undefeated no more, and the team responsible is none other than my Washington Commanders! The failed lateral play at the end of the game led to a surprise double-digit win.

The 1972 Dolphins can pour another one out.
